After more than 10 years: How to keep going?

Whenever I try to understand what happened in my life the last ten years, I find it very hard to do so. So how and why did I keep going for so long?

When I started I could hardly code and it took a while until I had Filmlog 1.0 ready. The biggest struggle was to develop some confidence to share my app and start doing marketing. I mainly kept going, but it wasn‘t my first priority, because I was studying, got to know my wife and we had our first child. But I learned and kept updating. When I was featured for the first time at the AppStore, I felt like I did achieved something and confidence increased.

For me it is a very valuable journey: I learned a lot and my day job benefited enormously. It was fun to do something on my own with no stakeholder restrictions.

The app in the las few years wasn't in a state I was feeling satisfied with, so I put down the work and released Filmlog 3.0 lately adding some unique features and polish, you will love.

The next 10 years I will focus on quality of service, make the app more popular and start making some serious money.

If you're wondering, I won't go indie full-time, because I love both worlds and want to keep the fun in developing Filmlog.
